Electric vehicle charging
How EV charging works
An EV charger is a controlled power supply that converts your home AC supply into the current your car's battery needs. Smart chargers talk to your solar inverter, your NSW energy tariff and your car, so charging happens when power is cheapest or greenest — usually straight from your roof.

Power flows from the wall
The charger takes 230V AC from your switchboard and delivers the correct voltage and current profile for your vehicle.

It talks to the car
A control pilot signal negotiates the safe maximum charge rate, ramps up smoothly and stops automatically when the battery is full.

Solar-aware modes kick in
The charger watches your inverter and diverts surplus solar to the car rather than exporting it for a small feed-in credit.

Load management protects your supply
Dynamic balancing throttles charging when the house is drawing heavily, so your main switch never trips.
